Karen’s Bio

When I was in third grade, I knew that I was going to be a teacher, so everything I did revolved around children. I played "school", gave "homework", and designated rest time all before I was in high school. I got my first taste of teacherdom when I was 15 at a daycare/preschool. Ever since, my life has revolved around education and children. I've worked in daycares, elementary schools, cared babysat, tutored, and the NYC Dept.of Education. It's no wonder I've received my Master's in Childhood Education and joined the national organization, Teach For America. My teaching experiences have strengthened my belief that children all are special, entertaining, curious, insightful, and that every child needs a fanclub. I am not an idle person, nor am I an idle nanny. I am loving, firm yet kind, responsible, trustworthy, fun, funny and I deliver quality care.
